    (University of the Western Cape, 2005) Lesko, Igor; Lees, James; Michael, Cheryl Ann; Institute for Social Development; Faculty of Arts
    This research explored cultural perceptions of HIV & AIDS with students at the University of the Western Cape and attempted to understand how these perceptions of the disease reinforce stigma and stigmatising attitudes towards people living with HIV/AIDS. This study investigated HIV/AIDS stigma as a social phenomenon and analysed the socio-cultural and historical roots of HIV/AIDS stigma.
